Network Rail is investing close to £1 million to modernise four significant level crossings in Lincolnshire, aiming to improve safety and operational efficiency for both road and rail users.
The project will involve essential upgrades at the Holton le Moor, Brigg, Butterswood, and Little London crossings. These improvements, set to take place over several weeks, include replacing outdated infrastructure such as deck units, cill beams, road surfaces, and markings. The works will impact traffic and rail services across the region.
The surface renewal work at all crossings is expected to result in more reliable infrastructure that requires less frequent maintenance, providing long-term cost-effectiveness.
During the works, rail replacement bus services will be operating between Cleethorpes and Barnetby, with affected passengers advised to check updates on the National Rail website. Diversion routes for road traffic will also be signposted.
This substantial investment aims to enhance the future efficiency of the crossings while improving safety for both road and rail users.
